[Spambayes] What's the average miss rate of SB?

[Roger]

On my laptop (W2K, Outlook XP + plugin) I get about 70 spam mails a 
day. I would say 99.9% is scored correctly. Sometimes I get a suspect 
mail, sometimes a false negative (spam mail not classified as such), 
maybe one a week. I don't believe I ever had a false positive, and 
still I check all spam before I delete it. This is much better than the 
built in filters in Mail (OSX) or Thunderbird, even after extensive 
training.
